Donald Trump has survived impeachments, indictments, and even a criminal conviction.
But Jeffrey Epstein may be the scandal that defines him, according to Daily Beast columnist David Rothkopf.
“This is his signature scandal,” Rothkopf told Joanna Coles on The Daily Beast Podcast
It’s a saga that connects global power,
inequality,
foreign intelligence intrigue,
and elite impunity.

Rright now it is unlikely that Trump gets a "rally around the flag" boost for his seizing of Maduro as
1) it didn’t happen with his invasion of cities or his attack on Iran
2) the country just isn’t on board some kind of extended military campaign in Venezuela
3) it increasingly feels like Trump has no real plan for what comes next in Venezuela, and like Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, thought the government would just fall and he could waltz into the Capital.

There are now apps to warn people if there are (smart) glasses with cameras switched on around them. So people will be warned that there might be surveillance, right? Which seems to be a good thing?
Maybe I missed something, but a device looking around to detect cameras is essentially monitoring constantly everything everywhere. Which is a pretty accurate definition of, ahem, surveillance?

What happened at Block will likely happen everywhere else - companies now find themselves with an overstock of talent, and they are not structurally ready to absorb additional capacity.
People will achieve more with less - but this also opens the doors to building entire new businesses.

More than 300 demonstrations are expected to take place across all 50 states and Washington DC, today,
in what organizers are calling
“ICE Out of Everywhere”.
Organizers, led by the national grassroots organization 50501,
say today’s protests are a response to a series of recent deaths involving federal immigration agents,
including the fatal shootings of Alex Prettiand Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month,
the homicide of Geraldo Campos in an immi…
